Tionesta Area Maker Space Survey - Summer 2022
A maker space is being considered for the region - please share your opinion.
Individuals in the area who create, build, craft, make music, tinker and fix things are invited to give their opinion about the possibility of opening a maker space in the Tionesta area by completing a short survey.
Development of a maker space was proposed as a way to expand upon the growth of the creative community and creative economy already underway in Tionesta.
While there are many variations on the maker space concept, they are all basically a shared workspace and shared equipment for people who lack adequate space or equipment to produce or develop new products/work. This may include artists, product artisans (food, soaps, candles, etc.), musicians and vocalists, technology developers, and many others.
The survey will help the consultants to determine the level of interest in such a facility, the needs of those interested in using it, opportunities for programming, its appeal as a tourist attraction, options for location, potential economic impact, and more.
The survey is part of a feasibility study led by the Forest County Business Alliance to learn about the community’s needs and whether a makerspace would be beneficial.
